Eisner Cove prosecution delayed

Grand Parade, an independent newspaper covering municipal news in Halifax, has an update on the lawsuit filed in relation to siltation at the Eisner Cove development site. The private prosecution case was initiated by Bill Zebedee, head of Protect Eisner Cove, on July 31. A hearing was held on Nov. 27, with the expectation being that local residents would know by the end of the year if the case would proceed in court.

However, as Antonia Zwissler writes:

On August 1 of this year, Zebedee shared the Nov. 27 date, thinking he would know then whether he’d be granted a case or not.

But on that day, it turned out some information was missing, and Zebedee’s legal representative Jamie Simpson and Brian Cox from Nova Scotia Public Prosecution Service will need to fill in that gap with new submissions to the judge in the next in camera session. This next meeting is scheduled for Jan. 19.
